Civic engagement as individuals and institutions plays a foundational role in our society and common life together. Watch this program to explore two fundamental dynamics that can help us lean into our responsibilities for civic engagement and navigate this topic during this moment in our country.
In an increasingly complex world, leaders in Episcopal schools—of all faith backgrounds—are called to guide their communities with a deep sense of purpose and compassion that embraces the dignity of each community member. The Three C’s Framework offers a faith-centered leadership model that is anchored by the Baptismal COVENANT, modeled after CHRIST, and oriented towards COMMUNITY. This webinar presents a model of Episcopal school leadership that both affirms and strengthens the great work already happening in schools while offering a faith-based strategy to build mission-aligned, inclusive, and Christ-centered communities where all are valued.
We may be familiar with the term civil discourse, but how much do we understand about how to use it as an individual, how to build a community culture for engagement or even its limitations? Join this introductory program to learn more about capacity building for civil discourse and how conversation to enhance our understanding can build our ability to engage across difference, leverage our diversity, and tackle community challenges.
How does Episcopal Identity intersect with the work of diversity practitioners in advancing equity, inclusion, and justice? In what ways can DEI practitioners leverage Episcopal identity to make their schools more just and equitable places that value every voice? How has Episcopal identity sometimes used to sideline or downplay the need for courageous conversations and bold action? Join fellow Episcopal school diversity practitioners to explore these questions.
We frequently discuss diversity and inclusion as vital components of Episcopal schools, yet rarely do we address the subject of political diversity within our pluralistic school communities. In this pivotal year of 2020, the saliency of this issue has become more pronounced in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the upcoming General Election. How do we affirm the spectrum of political viewpoints present in our schools, yet also maintain a steadfast promotion of the cornerstone Episcopal values of independent thought, embrace of differences, justice, and equity? We will share ideas in this workshop of how to affirm our Episcopal identity within the strong currents of this year’s political season.
